I booked a 2 night stay last night for the final leg of my road trip with my dying dog…read more Unfortunately, he ended up crossing the rainbow bridge last night so I left today. The woman at the desk was very polite but informed me since I paid for both nights in advance, she couldn't refund me the one night. It's honestly not about the money, it's that i was already an emotional wreck and it was just the cherry on top. The only facility I used was the washers. $2 was the advertised price so I put in the quarters and it kept asking me for more. I was pleasantly surprised the dryer ran longer than advertised. My site was not level and although my dog enjoyed touching grass his last day on earth, I kept waiting for someone to complain. The price was high for a highway view but it is what it is. And no, I will never come back.

The park is definitely not worth the high price, the spaces are not quite level enough to utilize…read morethe length you pay for, there are no special amenities and nothing is paved making it dirty and dusty. The manager was racing around the park this evening "running" her two large black dogs endangering people walking with their dogs (which we were doing) as well as causing dust and noise for those trying to enjoy sitting outside. We hollered at her to slow down, we were immediately accosted with outrage from her telling us we need to control our dogs?? They barked at her because she slid to a stop and started yelling at us that we had no right to tell her to slow down. She went on to say we were not welcome at the park anymore and we would be banned. Really? We are a Jeep club that booked 25 spaces for a week. We were placed right across the street from her home/space where her dogs barked at us every time we went to the dumpster or walked our dogs. We never complained but did say something when she was racing around the park in her golf cart. We have been RVers for over 30 years and are always respectful of where we stay. This "manager" was way out of line threatening to ban us for telling her to slow down. The park is hardly worth the cost, but our group stays here so we bit the bullet and have stayed here several times. However, the manager's attitude was the icing on the cake. We will never stay here again.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Under Canvas Moab for two nights this June, and it was the most…read morememorable hotel experience I've ever had. Our tent faced Arches National Park, and waking up to those views each morning was unforgettable. We stayed in an accessible tent, which was spacious, comfortable, and had convenient parking right next to it. The tent was a little warm at bedtime, but it cooled down nicely as the night went on. The amenities were wonderful. We loved grilling dinner, making complimentary s'mores every evening, and enjoying fresh coffee each morning. The staff was incredibly kind and always happy to provide us with ice or a cooler whenever we needed one. The nightly activities made our stay even more special. We enjoyed the bookmark-making activity, and the "Star-bathing Meditation" with Monika the most peaceful experience. We spent an hour lying on a rock, meditating under an incredible sky full of stars. It was so relaxing, and Monika made the experience unforgettable. We also spent hours stargazing from the hammocks. The night sky at Under Canvas Moab is absolutely breathtaking. The views are unlike anything we've ever experienced, and we would absolutely stay here again. I highly recommend Under Canvas Moab to anyone visiting the area!

The noise from the 191 is loud, incessant and unbearable. From the winding road, the tents are less…read morethan 1/5 mile from the highway, so in fact they are even closer. For Under Canvas to choose this location and then not to to disclose how loud - and constant- the traffic noise is... is disingenuous at best. The industrial level earplugs they leave at your bedside indicate their awareness of the problem, but you can even hear the traffic through those - though it is muted - and the noise ruins just sitting outside in nature and looking at the stars. Imagine being on a motel off the freeway with the windows open the entire time, and you get the picture. For them to charge the prices they do for this location is literally highway robbery... and you are practically right over the highway. So much for peace and quiet around the campfire at night -- the free s'mores cannot undo the damage to the ambiance of having cars and semi trucks constantly screaming by. Such a disappointment.

Dead Horse Point State Park is absolutely stunning--and pet friendly! The overlooks alone are worth…read morethe stop, but there are also several trails to choose from. We hiked the East Rim Trail, which connects to the West Rim Trail, for a total of about 3.9 miles. I'd rate it as easy to moderate: mostly flat with a few sections of light climbing. The views throughout the hike are breathtaking, and when we went, it wasn't crowded at all. Keep in mind that the park is very hot with almost no shade, so bring plenty of water. If you're traveling with a dog, be mindful of the ground temperature to avoid burning their paw pads. The visitor center itself isn't pet-friendly, but the bathrooms are located outside and accessible. My only complaint is that the trail markers could be clearer--since some trails overlap, it can get confusing. Entry is $20 per vehicle, paid at the gate. We spent about 2.5 hours exploring, though you could easily stay longer if you want to sit, relax, and take in the scenery. Overall, this is a must-visit stop in Moab.

Cowboy Camp is about as "roughing it" as you can get: no water, no electricity, way out of town…read morefrom Moab (which is already "out of town.") Still there is a natural rustic beauty to this place-- the rolling desert chaparral, the awesome sandstone outcroppings, dry riverbeds, monsoon storms, and amazing sunrises. Facilities are primitive, in the campground sense-- put toilets and fire rings if you're lucky. Be sure to bring your own supplies, and while the roads are essentially washboard dirt and gravel, a high clearance vehicle and 4WD doesn't hurt out here. Also note that there's more nature here than you realize-- rodents will get into your food if it's not secured, and the usual snakes and scorpions are here too if you know where to look or avoid (depending on your goals!) As someone who enjoys getting away and seeing the stars, this can be as good as it gets.... even if you're still within an hour of Moab ice cream :)

That's when you notice he's already awake beside you, staring up from his back at the dark blue sky through the gray mesh of the tent's roof. You slept without the rain fly last night and enjoyed an incredible show of brilliant stars before falling asleep together, too tired to make the moon's encore performance. "Are you awake?" he whispers, as he gently tucks a wisp of your long hair behind your ear. "Ya," you respond in your croaky morning voice. You clear your throat and continue, "I was just thinking about going back to sleep but I kinda want to see the views over the cliff." That's one of the reasons you chose this campground, as the last few campsites abut an incredible cliff that looks off to the west. Feeling the soreness in your muscles, you mange to turn over and prop yourself up on your elbows, so you can just peek through the top of the tent to see where the sun has already landed in the valley below. "Whoa!" you blurt out, a little too loudly, "Look!" Now you're both on your elbows, and you can just see a band of bright yellow and orange on the far western horizon. The sun is still behind a small hill that's protecting you from its rays, but it has managed to lay that stripe of amber incandescence on the valley and you can make out all kinds of rocky formations in the distance. You unzip the tent and make your way out, not worrying about your shout or the zipping noise, as most sites here are well-spaced and you won't disturb your neighbor. Together you climb out and convince your muscles to take you over to the picnic table; there's one per site and yours is looking out over the entire scene as it unfolds. You quickly escape to the restroom--just a simple, roofless, pit toilet and not much in the way of privacy; but it does the job. When you return, he's already heating milk over his small stove. "I thought you might like some hot chocolate--and not the powder kind; I brought some sipping chocolate." He plops in a few squares of high quality chocolate and your heart is with them, melting. He knows you and your love for chocolate all too well. You sit at the table and soak up the silent scene. This is another reason you chose Cowboy Camp. Oh sure, Horsethief is bigger and not on the rough, hard to find dirt road and you still have to pay $15/night here, but this campground is much quieter (just 7 sites), accommodates tenters, and you just feel more connected to nature and each other. Buttes and towers are illuminated from the top down in the distance as the pink and orange hues slowly descend. You sip. You snuggle. Later there will be talk of where to hike -- you're near Canylonlands, Dead Horse Point, and of course never too far from Arches, Moab, and everything back down the highway. But for now, you sip some more. You snuggle a little closer, and you breathe deeply. This is your happy place.

Due to a water main break at Arches National Park we had to search for a new place to camp while…read morenear Moab, UT hiking and vactioning. Horsethief Campground is run by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Their mission is "To sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations." I did copy their mission from their website, FYI. Horsethief caught our eye online immediately. Though it did not have any running water offered, it was open during the winter. It also had toilets on site, which was a win for us. We decided to drive to Horsetheif and check it out. They offer both campsites and RV sites, but with no hook ups. All sites are first come, first serve. Which was also fine with us, because again, we were planning on camping during the winter, during a time when they had just had a good amount of snowfall. I was told that it was an unseasonable amount for that area at this time. As we drove we made note of how close the campground was to both Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. We were planning on visiting both parks, so this seemed ideal. When we pulled in, (and do not blink, you can easily miss the entrance), we knew we found our campground. It was breath taking. The area was spectacular. It was covered with pristine snow and had Pinyon trees all around. It was like we were the only people there, we felt so secluded and protected. We picked tent site 25 and it could not have been more perfect. When we stay at Horsethief again we will aim to get the same site. It was close enough to the bathroom and yet hidden. I fell in love with our site and that campground in the short time we were there. The cost is $20 per night for tent sites and you need to bring exact cash. You simply put your cash in the provided envelopes and drop it in the drop box. When we visited there were no pens/pencils, and we did not travel with any, but I hope they know that we were the ones that paid. Please if you stay a night at Horsethief, please pay your fee, the money goes directly to the BLM and that is how they support taking care of their land. It was magnificent and I can not wait to return.

One camper nearby claimed that she saw a mountain lion earlier that day (8/31/17). Reservations are available online, but note that 4 sites are non-reservable.
